Another item to mention is limiting your appreciative clapping during a performance. Please wait until the end of the piece and not between movements as it can be disturbing to the performer and the conductor (not to mention the rest of us who do not want to miss hearing a single beat!) Please also keep this in mind during a ballet performance! Ballet music is composed specifically to give the audience opportunities to clap at the end of each section - please do not clap after each and every pirouette or manege. The choreography is timed to the music. Remember - you're at a ballet, not the circus. Thank you, thank you, thank you for including etiquette suggestions in your article.
